After many years with Rovers, then Honda, I have just got a 320d SE touring auto. It has 68,000 on an 03 plate. It is immaculate inside and out and has fsh. The only things I may want to alter, are adding a CD to it, and connectivity for a phone.

Any advice whatsoever concerning the car will be welcomed.

Welcome Daz. I've only been "German" about a couple of months, having been Toyota Supra - Honda Civic - Nissan Primera GT - Honda Prelude - Nissan Almera - Nissan Primera GT - for maybe 10 years. Enjoying the RWD!!!!!!!!!!

welcome aboard mate, nice move to owning such a geman piece of engineering. i have owned a 320d in the past n they are a mint motor for munching up miles for fun whilst economy is excellent. my advise too keep the machine runnin smooth is keep up with correct castrol oil n services at the right time according to dash display.

some early models did suffer premature turbo failure mostly down to not letting the turbo wind down after long fast drive and late improper servicing but yours is a low mileage with history so a good start there. mine did eventually have a turbo replacement around 140,000miles with some breather pipes :rolleyes:

I hope you enjoy your first Bimmer as much as I did. The only trouble is - once you've experienced the sheer "smile factor" it'll give you - you will never find anything else comes up to scratch. However, that's easily rectified by buying another one! :)

      Folding mirrors

      Morning Damion I would say yes to the software update (but a Dealer will charge £££) this should be in iDrive try My Vehicle, Vehicle Settings, Doors/Key, then scroll down to mirrors and check Fold Mirrors when Locked If that doesn't work you need help from someone with a BMW capable diagnostic package (ISTA/INPA) to check if it is in a hidden menu. Be aware BMW are making it harder and harder to tinker with the cars mainly after 2019 year so you should be OK Dave

      Centre console iPhone charger

      Morning Rob His was in the car when he brought it and is OEM (car is BMW 330e 2019) apparently works well with his iPhone but not with our daughters Android phone. You could talk to your Dealer but make sure your wallet is in a protected spot 😁 as I have know idea of cost ££££. If BMW are fitting them then there will be Retro fit kits out there from the Far east so worth looking at the Auction sites but I have no knowledge of quality other than the screen in the X5 failed and I replaced it with a complete Android unit from Ebay at less than a 1/3rd of the BMW quote. Truly plug and play allows switching between the OEM CiC and Android gives better GPS and many other programs and has been totally reliable for the last 3 years (that's killed it ) Me I don't spend long enough in the car for my phone to need charging these days 😅 While the X5 has Android Auto and Carplay I have to say like a lot of gadgets they are rarely used. Bluetooth is the only thing I see as an essential Good Luck with the search for a solution Dave

      Folding mirrors

      My X6M has folding mirrors, operated from the normal button, situated on the drivers door arm rest. They don’t fold in when I set the alarm, having read the manual, there’s a setting in the idrive to activate this function but when I scroll down the menu, this option isn’t there. Can the software be updated to add this feature, surely if the button is there and the mirrors are folding ones there must be a solution, or am I missing something completely Thanks in advance
